A richly coloured antique majolica compote dish featuring a bold cabbage leaf motif in an array of jewel tones—emerald green, soft lilac, turquoise, and golden amber.

The shallow bowl is elevated on a matching footed pedestal, also textured with leafy detail, creating a beautifully organic silhouette and form.

The intricate veining and glaze pooling highlight the naturalistic design so well-loved in 19th-century majolica.

The underside reveals soft mottling in earthy green and cream, with some age-related crazing visible throughout, adding character and authenticity.

A rare and decorative piece, ideal for display or light decorative use.

This tactile and highly decorative pedestal dish would have originally served fruit or dessert and now makes a stunning centrepiece or a collector’s cabinet additionm
